My Poor Baby

My poor little boy doesn't feel well! He was fine this morning. He ate normal. He drank alot though. He i on a veterinary diet because he had urinary disease 11 years ago. It allows him a certain wet food & dry food. He has been a little finicky so I added the dry food back last night (Tuesday) and I also fed it to him this morning (Wednesday). He loved it, but I don't think it loves him. I don't think it agreed with him. He didn't eat this evening and he is lethargic yet drinking alot of water. He threw up the food and a large hairball so I think that he either has more to get up or he is sick from the food, maybe an allergic reaction since they changed the forumula since he last had it? Either way I'm taking him to the vet in the morning. I am sick to death with worry that it just isn't a coincidence with the food. I hope that there isn't something else wrong with him. I'm sick with worry you can't even imagine. I've been crying since I got home from work. I was going to take him to the emergency animal hospital, but since he was drinking (alot), he isn't dehydrated. He is alert they said I can wait to see my regular doctor since he ate normal this morning. Plus, Harley is terrified of the doctor & my vet is SO good, caring & loving towards him. I want to bring him to a familiar place.He is sleeping now. I'm hoping he will wake up & feel better and want to eat. Regardless, I am still taking him to the vet.

I will let you all know what happens. If it is the kind of thing you do, if you can say a prayer for my little boy. He is my whole heart. I am so sick over this.

sending lots of love and prayers for Harley! I hope you were able to get some sleep last night, but you're like me and you probably sat up all night with him to make sure he was ok...right?

Lyn - Thank you so much

Sue - If I slept an hour it was alot. I kept watching him all night long. I locked him in the bedroom with us because I wanted to listen for him and so I could watch him. He slept good and was purring. He ate about 1am. So thank God for that. He just still doesn't seem "right". I'm going to call the vet as soon as they open. I have a headache SO bad from stress and probably from lack of sleep. I don't care though. I just want him to be OK. You know?
